Ezy-Lift’s Hydraulic unit is completely self-contained and requires no maintenance. However, periodic
inspection of hydraulic cylinders, hoses and fittings for any sigh of leakage is recommended.
Periodically check the oil level in the fluid reservoir and add as needed to maintain full capacity. The hy-
draulic pump and fluid reservoir are located directly behind the cover hatch on the driver’s side of the
unit. With the cylinders fully retracted (lift arms in the parked position), the reservoir should be ap-
proximately 2/3 full (1 to 1-1/2 inches beneath the filler inlet) See Figure 3. Do not overfill. Adding
too much oil could cause the reservoir to overflow when your vehicle is in motion. Use automatic
transmission fluid with a viscosity range of 150-300 SSU at 100° F.
MAINTENANCE
Your Ezy-Lift lifting system should b serviced every 2 years or 400 hours of normal operation. That mainte-
nance includes:
Inspect and lubricate bearings
Check all hydraulic fittings for leaks or signs of wear, tighten or replace as necessary.
•
Inspect hydraulic power unit and reservoir for leaks or damage, repair or replace as necessary.
Replace hydraulic fluid and inspect old fluid for signs of problems
• Check cylinder for leaks and inspect cylinder rod for evidence of wear or damage, repair or replace as nec-
essary.
